VisionMaster 6.0 software, for desktop SPI systems, performs 3D measurements and plots printed circuit board features. Upgrades include negative height measurements, pad array creation with an intuitive user interface, and improved processing algorithms. Touchscreen support for Windows 8/10 has been extended and updated. Features charting. Built-in SPC support provides process capability data range selection and better upper and lower limit control, and color palette-based threshold entry. Removes unwanted data points for charts, expands support for external SPC packages, like Siemens' Criterion and Minitab, and performs multiple 2D measurements. Measures object width, height and diameter. Draws measurement templates on any object in the field of view of the sensor.
